Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 12 Drawing Symbols
Lin Youran coughed twice, a little embarrassed.

The main problem is that she's been busy avoiding Mu Feibai these past few days, so she knows nothing about her junior sister's background... She should try to find out more next time!
But this is good, so there's no need to worry about the junior sister being wronged.

Many cultivators in the hall listened intently to the conversation of these people. When they heard that Shen Youqing was highly regarded because he was backed by the Yue family, their minds began to stir.

Almost all healers in the cultivation world come from the Yue family. Since this fellow cultivator is valued by the Yue family, he will probably become a healer in the future. He should try to curry favor and become well-known.

"Junior Sister Shen, the Five Elements Sect will definitely give you an explanation for this matter." Mu Feibai bowed to Shen Youqing.

It's highly likely that this junior sister Ranran will choose to become a healer. Healers are extremely rare, and everyone else is eager to get on good terms with her. Only Elder Fei's two children would dare to offend a future healer.

He had to tell his master quickly so that his master would be aware of the situation!

Shen Youqing raised her hand in return, her clear voice soft, "Senior Brother Mu, you flatter me. However, I hope the Five Elements Sect can restrain that fellow Daoist a little, as her actions have already caused trouble for Fifth Senior Brother."

Xiao Ke raised his eyes and glanced at the aloof and indifferent Shen Youqing, his peach blossom eyes darkening slightly.

Is she protecting herself?
It seems... I like it even more now.

"I will pass it on," Mu Feibai said gently and politely.

Looking at the aloof and indifferent Shen Youqing, Lin Youran couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Is Third Senior Sister here for dinner too?" Shen Youqing smiled, suddenly appearing obedient and docile.

Lin Youran's eyes softened, and she walked over and touched Shen Youqing's chubby cheek. "I'll go to a private room with him. You and Fifth Junior Brother can eat slowly."

No matter what her identity is, she's still just as lovable!

"Okay," Shen Youqing replied with a smile.

Lin Youran glanced at Mu Feibai, and the two walked towards the private room on the second floor.

After watching the two walk away, Shen Youqing approached the shopkeeper and politely said, "Shopkeeper, we'll settle the bill for their meals later. I'll pay for it."

The shopkeeper nodded.

After Xiao Ke finished eating, Shen Youqing paid the bill and went back with him.

When Lin Youran and Mu Feibai went to pay the bill after finishing their meal, they were told that the bill had already been paid.

Upon learning that it was given by Shen Youqing, Lin Youran was utterly helpless.

-

The next day.

After lunch, Shen Youqing moved a table under the shade of a tree, looking extremely serious.

Concentrating his mind and spirit, he dipped his brush in ink and used his spiritual power to urge the talisman brush to slowly draw the talisman patterns on the talisman paper.

Shen Youqing held his breath, looking at the talisman that was mostly complete, becoming increasingly cautious.

After a cup of tea.

The runes on the talisman lit up, but the talisman remained intact and did not spontaneously combust.

Become!

Shen Youqing put down his talisman brush and looked at the low-level talisman he had successfully drawn on the table, a look of joy on his face.

"He has talent."

The sudden sound startled Shen Youqing.

Standing behind Shen Youqing and witnessing the entire process of drawing the talisman, Xiao Ke handed over a storage ring.

"What?" Shen Youqing put down the talisman in his hand and looked at the storage ring.

Xiao Ke bent down and placed the storage ring on the table, speaking calmly, "Patriarch Shen and Master went to talk to the sect leader of the Five Elements Sect one after the other. This is an apology gift that Elder Fei sent over early this morning."

"Is there any for you?" Shen Youqing asked.

Xiao Ke was taken aback.

Clearly, he never expected Shen Youqing to say something like that.

"Fifth Senior Brother, please accept this apology gift." After saying this, Shen Youqing looked away and picked up the talisman brush.

Xiao Ke took out a cushion, put it down, and then sat on the cushion, looking at Shen Youqing.

“I think Fifth Senior Brother might need this apology gift more, after all, he has suffered a lot.” After saying that, Shen Youqing took a talisman paper and continued to draw talismans.

Seeing this, Xiao Ke could only watch quietly, avoiding making a sound to disturb Shen Youqing's drawing of the talisman. After Shen Youqing finished drawing the talisman, Xiao Ke spoke, "This is for you."

"Then I'll give it to Fifth Senior Brother," Shen Youqing said without looking up.

Her fifth senior brother treated her very well, so she should reciprocate in kind.

Xiao Ke's eyes were deep as he watched Shen Youqing continue to focus on drawing talismans.

Shen Youqing, focused on drawing talismans, did not notice the intense and burning emotions pouring out in Xiao Ke's eyes.

After using up all the spiritual energy in his body, Shen Youqing put down the talisman brush.

Xiao Ke lowered his eyelids and composed himself slightly before looking at the talismans.

It can be formed in one stroke, and the success rate of forming a symbol is also high.

Shen Youqing is extremely talented in the art of talismans.

Shen Youqing laid out several talisman papers and looked at the finished products. She said with some distress, "Only seven out of ten talismans were successful. My success rate is not good."

Xiao Ke: ?
Looking at Shen Youqing's worried face, Xiao Ke's tone was slightly complicated, "You don't think drawing talismans is that simple, do you?"

"Isn't this simpler than cooking?" Shen Youqing pointed to the talismans on the table.

She could draw talismans successfully on her first try, but when it came to cooking... she failed twice in a row.

For now, cooking is the most difficult thing for her!
"..." Xiao Ke paused for a moment before speaking, "Very few beginners can succeed in drawing talismans on their first try. You are undoubtedly a genius in talisman drawing."

Shen Youqing nodded, his face showing little joy, but rather a calm and composed demeanor, with a natural sense of pride.

She picked up the talismans from the table and handed them to Xiao Ke, "Fifth Senior Brother, would you like to try the effects of these talismans?"

Xiao Ke took the talisman. "Using it out of thin air is a bit wasteful. I'll try it another time."

He would never use these talismans; they must be carefully preserved.

Shen Youqing had no suspicions.

-

Having found something to do, Shen Youqing became obsessed with talismans. After two hours of body training each day, he would spend the rest of his time either reading books on talismans or drawing talismans.

Lin Youran came a few times, and then never came again.

Every time we go to the Jade Pool, Junior Sister is either cultivating or tempering her body, or drawing talismans; she's never seen idle!
My junior sister is so curly!

Xiao Ke is used to it.

Shen Youqing gets up at 7:00 AM every day without fail and starts exercising, but she also balances work and rest. She takes a nap at noon and goes for a walk when she gets tired of drawing talismans.

Through repeated drawing of talismans, Shen Youqing gradually became more skilled, and his success rate in drawing talismans increased dramatically.

The peaceful, leisurely yet fulfilling days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, it was almost time for the Qi Xu Secret Realm to open.

Qixu City.

Shen Youqing stepped out of the teleportation array with a blank stare and a look of utter despair.

Screw the teleportation array! A few more times and I'll be dead!

In order to be able to fly on a sword, one must form a core within six months!

Seeing Shen Youqing's pale and dizzy face, Xiao Ke said, "I'll fly back on my sword after the secret realm ends."

Shen Youqing's eyes lit up immediately.

Seeing Shen Youqing's sudden return to normalcy, a gentle light flashed in Xiao Ke's eyes. "Let's go, the secret realm will open soon."

Shen Youqing nodded.

The entrance to the Qi Xu Secret Realm is in front of a clearing in the deep forest.

When Xiao Ke and Shen Youqing arrived, the open space was already crowded with people, a motley crew.

In the noisy environment, Xiao Ke became increasingly cold and aloof, appearing to keep everyone at arm's length.

Shen Youqing had no intention of squeezing up, so the two of them stood obediently on the outside and watched.
